Why Troops to Truckers? – To Assist You in Getting Licensed and Employed as Quickly as Possible

The Troops to Truckers mission is to assist you, our US military active duty or military veteran, in obtaining your CDL Class “A” drivers license and land a great paying professional driving position. Our goal is to move you from unemployment or underemployment to a starting salary of at least $35,000 per year.

The goal is CDL training for you, the U.S. military service person or veteran. Truck driving, as well as operating other commercial vehicles requiring a Class “A” and “B” operator’s license, is one of the professions that you can enter that are very compatible with the “new normal” that many of you are experiencing post deployment or post active duty service. Most of you are now accustomed to working outdoors, independently, and often in semi-isolation, and CDL training is often an outstanding opportunity and great career fit.

FACT: There is a truck driver shortage

U.S. trucking companies may face a 30 percent surge in wage costs by 2014 as rising demand for freight shipments threatens to push the industry’s driver shortage to the longest on record. Even with numerous truck driving schools to hire from, a shrinking pool of drivers is putting wage pressure on Idaho’s trucking companies.

“Throughout this past year, we were down quite a few drivers,” said Jason Andrus, chairman of the Idaho Trucking Association and chief financial officer of Doug Andrus Distributing in Idaho Falls. “We’ve filled those positions now, but it’s just taking a lot more effort to keep those trucks with drivers in them. The current national shortfall will double in a year to about 300,000 full-time positions, or 10 percent of the workforce, said Noel Perry, managing director at consultant FTR Associates in Nashville, Ind.

FACT: There are 10s of thousands of troops returning from war

With the current rapid reduction in forces activity of the United States Armed Forces, thousands of active duty military, many just returning to the United States, are being issued discharge orders. Many of you are reading this website right now. As you return, what we do know is that many of you return with a “new normal” that will impact where you go, how you live, and what type of jobs you will be more successful at. Our programs are for you.
